Chapter 225 The Strange Uncle
Gu Zhenhao retorted, "Does worrying help?"
Now you're scared? Where were you before?
Tang Xiang said angrily, "Then you'd better think of a solution quickly!"
If they find out that she was the one who set the fire, Gu Jinhong will not let her off the hook just because she is his daughter-in-law.
Thinking of Gu Jinhong's methods, Tang Xiang shuddered, fear showing in her eyes.
Her husband is Gu Jinhong's biological son, and Gu Jinhong might not treat him badly, but she is different.
Gu Jinhong would not pity her.
In Gu Jinhong's eyes, women are nothing more than reproductive tools.
Her father has also passed away, and no one in the Tang family will care about her anymore.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiang rushed over and grabbed her husband's hand, staring intently at him. "If things are exposed, just say you did it all by yourself. You're the old man's own son; even if he's angry, he won't do anything to you. Don't implicate me. Do you hear me?!"
Gu Zhenhao frowned, concealing the disgust in his eyes, and forcefully shook off Tang Xiang's hand. "It's late, if you don't sleep, I still need to sleep."
As he spoke, he lay down with his back to Tang Xiang.
Tang Xiang looked at him in disbelief.
What does this man mean? Does he not care whether she lives or dies?
"Gu Zhenhao! Do you have any conscience?!" Tang Xiang screamed like a madwoman, pulling at Gu Zhenhao with all her might. "I gave birth to two sons for you, worked like a slave for you three, and thought only of you. Is this how you treat me?"
Gu Zhenhao, angered by Tang Xiang's outburst, shoved her away and said coldly, "Alright. If I didn't have a conscience, I would have sent you back to the Tang family long ago. We've been married for twenty or thirty years, do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? You say you're thinking of us, but in the end, aren't you just thinking of yourself?"
Before Tang Xiang could speak, Gu Zhenhao pointed his finger at her nose and warned, "You did this. Nobody forced you. You'll have to take responsibility for what happened. If Jing Dong gets involved, I'll kill you myself, even without my dad's help!"
Tang Xiang turned deathly pale, as if struck by lightning.
The man she insisted on marrying despite all opposition when she was young is now threatening her with death...

After leaving the Lu residence, Huo Huai Sui was taken home by her brother.
After her brother came home, he didn't go out again, which made her afraid to go out either, so she could only stay at home.
With nothing else to do, Huo Huaisui continued to harass her boyfriend by phone.
It wasn't until nightfall that her penniless boyfriend answered her call.
The call connected, and before the person on the other end could speak, Huo Huai Sui said angrily, "I'll give you ten seconds to explain why you didn't answer the phone."
The person on the other end of the phone paused for a few seconds, then spoke in a slightly hoarse voice: "I was asleep, I didn't hear you."
Huo Huai Sui reluctantly accepted this explanation and then asked, "Where did you go today?"
Xie Qinglan: "...Slept, didn't go anywhere."
Huo Huaisui: "Really?"
Xie Qinglan: "...more real than pearls."
"Okay." Huo Huai Sui pouted. "I went to a funeral today and saw a man who looked a lot like you."
Huo Huaisui thought for a moment, then added, "It shouldn't be said that they look alike, they're practically identical."
“You’re mistaken,” Xie Qinglan said without hesitation. “I’m not a generic face, nor am I mass-produced. How could anyone look exactly like me?”
If Huo Huaisui firmly believes that he is not hallucinating and that there is nothing wrong with his eyes, he should believe that he is seeing things.
She suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of which, your surname is Xie, and his surname is Xie too."
Despite the sweltering heat, Xie Qinglan broke out in a cold sweat. "How did you know that person's surname was Xie?"
Huo Huai Sui gave him a look that said, "What nonsense are you spouting?" He replied, "His whole family is surnamed Xie, how could he possibly have a different surname?"
"..."
With such a logical and well-founded argument, Xie Qinglan had no way to refute it and could only grit her teeth and say, "It's just a coincidence."
Huo Huai Sui asked again, "It really isn't you?"
Xie Qinglan: "...No, that's really not it."
"If you dare to lie to me..." Huo Huai Sui picked up the scissors on the table and slashed them viciously.
Xie Qinglan heard this and gave a dry laugh, "Why would I lie to you..."
Before Huo Huaisui could speak again, Xie Qinglan quickly changed the subject: "Want to go out for a late-night snack?"
Huo Huai Sui put down the scissors and said unhappily, "My brother is at home, so I can't go out."
Xie Qinglan coaxed her, "I'll order you takeout. What do you want to eat?"
Huo Huai Sui's eyes lit up, and he rattled off a string of snack names.
After hearing this, Xie Qinglan asked with amusement, "So much food, can you finish it all?"
Huo Huai Sui rubbed his flat stomach. "I didn't eat dinner tonight."
Xie Qinglan immediately said, "How about another hamburger and fries combo or a hairy crab? Let's skip the milk tea, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight, let's have juice instead."
He remembered that she liked to eat these random things.
Huo Huai Sui's mouth was practically watering. "Okay!"
After answering, Huo Huai Sui asked again, "Do you have any money left?"
Xie Qinglan smiled. "And one more thing. Whatever you want to eat, I'll earn the money to buy it for you."
Huo Huaisui was satisfied.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Huaisui was preoccupied with his delicious late-night snack, and no longer cared about whether anyone looked alike or not.

During the day, Gu Suixing went to the hospital to see her parents, and then went to take care of her work.
That evening, when Gu Suixing returned to Xingheli, while Lu Fengqing was taking a shower, Rui Rui stuck her little bottom up on Gu Suixing's shoulder and whispered in his ear mysteriously.
"Dad, you weird uncle, call Mom."
Rui Rui remembered what her father had always told her: if a strange uncle came looking for her mother, she must tell her father.
"Strange uncle?" Gu Suixing looked at the little guy's serious face and asked, "Which strange uncle?"
Rui Rui shook her head. "I don't know."
Gu Suixing: "Did he say what his name is?"
Rui Rui shook her head again.
In the morning, Rui Rui answered a phone call for Lu Fengqing. The voice on the other end of the line was that of an unfamiliar uncle.
The caller ID shows a string of numbers, but no name is displayed.
Rui Rui wouldn't have picked up the baby if her mother hadn't told her to.
Gu Suixing asked again, "What did that uncle say?"
“Let Mom answer the phone,” Rui Rui said.
Just as Lu Fengqing came out of the shower, Gu Suixing said directly, "Give me your phone."
Lu Fengqing didn't think much of it and went to get the phone for him.
Gu Suixing opened the call log, looked at the string of numbers, pondered for a moment, picked up her phone, and sent the string of numbers to Assistant Fang.
Without Gu Suixing needing to say more, Assistant Fang quickly replied.
[Fang Hang: This is the governor's mobile phone number]
Tangxing Prefecture?
Gu Suixing's peach blossom eyes narrowed dangerously.
